Flower Girl duties, dresses and gifts

Flower Girls are typically between the age of 3 and 8 years old. Their primary function is to look cute and to draw oohs and aahs from the wedding guests as they walk down the aisle. They are the youngest and most unpredictable member of the wedding party. It is extremely important for the bride and the parents to make sure that the little girl understands just what she is expected to do. Fortunately her duties are few.

• A flower girl attends all bridal showers.
• She also attends the ceremony rehearsal and sometimes the rehearsal dinner.
• During the ceremony a flower girl scatters rose petals (many times made of silk) along the bridal path.
• During the ceremony besides scattering rose petals a flower girl comes down the aisle right before the bride.
• After the vows at the end of the ceremony, a flower girl follows the maid or matron of honor down the aisle.
• Some flower girls sit at the bridal table at the reception, however, most of the time they sit with their families.
